Leadership capacity and adaptive capacity are often referred to as the critical skills to keep the organization focused on the long term, as well as coalesced as a team. Business management skills, on the other hand, are those abilities of the organization to utilize its resources effectively. The skills of finance, fundraising, marketing, communications — the tools of a successful manager. The old proverb says that leadership is doing the right thing; management is doing things right.
